Lacking a band gap largely limits the application of graphene in electronic devices. Previous study shows that grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline graphene can dramatically alter the electrical properties of graphene. Here, we…

Van der Waals heterostructures obtained by artificially stacking two-dimensional crystals represent the frontier of material engineering, demonstrating properties superior to those of the starting materials. Fine control of the interlayer…

Electron-electron interactions play an important role in graphene and related systems and can induce exotic quantum states, especially in a stacked bilayer with a small twist angle. For bilayer graphene where the two layers are twisted by a…

The interplay of twist and strain in bilayer graphene enables the formation of moir\'e patterns and narrow bands that host correlated and topological phases. While magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has been widely studied, strain…

We investigate the transport properties of double-gated bilayer graphene nanoribbons at room temperature. The devices were fabricated using conventional CMOS-compatible processes. By analyzing the dependence of the resistance at the charge…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently been the focus of extensive research. By following a similar trend as graphene, other 2D materials including transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2) and metal mono-chalcogenides (MX) show great…

We investigate twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), a four-layer system composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers rotated with respect to each other by a small angle. Our ab initio band structure calculations reveal a considerable…

High mobility single and few-layer graphene sheets are in many ways attractive as nanoelectronic circuit hosts but lack energy gaps, which are essential to the operation of field-effect transistors. One of the methods used to create gaps in…

By using the first-principles method based on density of functional theory, we study the electronic properties of twisted bilayer graphene with some specific twist angles and interlayer spacings. With the decrease of the twist angle(the…

We generalize the continuum model for Moir\'e structures made from twisted graphene layers, in order to include lattice relaxation and the formation of channels at very small (marginal) twist angles. We show that a precise description of…

We present a theoretical study of the intrinsic plasmonic properties of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) as a function of the twist angle $\theta$ (and other microscopic parameters such as temperature and filling factor). Our calculations,…

We study the gate voltage induced gap that occurs in graphene bilayers using \textit{ab initio} density functional theory. Our calculations confirm the qualitative picture suggested by phenomenological tight-binding and continuum models. We…

We calculate thermopower of clean and impure bilayer graphene systems. Opening a band gap through the application of an external electric field is shown to greatly enhance the thermopower of bilayer graphene, which is more than four times…

Using first-principles full-potential density functional calculations, we predict that mechanically tunable band-gap is realizable in ZnS monolayer in graphene-like honeycomb structure by application of in-plane homogeneous biaxial strain.…

The electronic properties of a material depend on the spatial freedom of the electron wavefunction. A well-known example is graphite, which is a conventional gapless semiconductor, while a single layer of it, graphene, exhibits extremely…

We show that when the pseudomagnetic fields created by long wavelength deformations are appropriately coupled with a scalar electric potential, a significant energy gap can emerge due to the formation of a Haldane state. Ramifications of…

We characterize gap-opening mechanisms in the topological heavy fermion (THF) model of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG), with and without electron-phonon coupling, using dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) with the numerical…

The conductance, the transmission and the reflection probabilities through rectangular potential barriers and pn-junctions are obtained for bilayer graphene taking into account the four bands of the energy spectrum. We have evaluated the…

Opening up a band gap of the graphene and finding a suitable substrate are two challenges for constituting the nano-electronic equipment. A new two-dimensional layered crystal g-C2N (Nat. Commun. 2015, 6, 1--7) with novel electronic and…

Twisted bilayer systems with discrete magic angles, such as twisted bilayer graphene featuring moir\'{e} superlattices, provide a versatile platform for exploring novel physical properties. Here, we discover a class of superflat bands in…
